I get home after doing another account, hang up my jacket, and jog up the stairs.
"Hey Salome! You arou-" I see a note sticking out of my drawer and read it. It couldn't have been written too long ago...
I run back downstairs, and out to my car where I speed off to the airport. I park in the lot, hop out, and run into the terminals. It's hard to figure out anything, since I don't speak French, and just blindly run through the terminals after getting through security, looking for Salome...

"I was really tired." I reply.
"Hello I am Aleksandra." I say to Virus.

I have some misgivings leaving so suddenly, but it seems like the right choice. I am sure I will regret it at first, but after several months I will feel better and more like myself.
I check which terminal my flight is departing on the large screen, and start walking.

I didn't say anything as he told me about this and his "plan" but I was kinda mad at him though.
"You just like the guys back home Damek......."

"I'm not a saint and never claimed to be. Maybe it is time for me to leave." He says, grabbing his bag. "I'll see you around." He says and walks out the door. He is upset, but wants to avoid a fight with her, and decides that he's done her enough damage.

I decide to stop, and just look for familiar motion. I stand still, and look around, frantically, for Salome. I see her!
I run towards her, accidentally running into someone on my way there. "Ah, sorry..." I say, walking backwards, then turn back around and run towards her. When I finally catch up to her, I nod my head politely, and say:
"Hello, Salome..." As quietly as possible, so's not to cause a scene, despite being filled with emotion.

"Oh...hello Shura." I say a little cooler than I mean to. I was determined to do this and didn't plan on him coming here. "So... I was planning on taking that job. I thought it over and it seemed the right thing to do. I don't want to lose myself. Maybe the past few months have been a mistake."

"Well, I'm glad you consulted me on that." I reply, a lot more sarcastic than I intended. I immediately feel bad, and lower my head.
"Ah sorry sorry... Well, I don't think that the past few months have been a mistake. I understand you need to be your own person and everything, but..." I look around to make sure nobody's looking at us. Nobody is.
"It's just, I like you a lot, Salome... I love you. Don't... Well, if you feel like this is the right thing to do... I don't want to stop you..."

I didn't say anything to him as he left the bedroom but this time I didn't cry though. I supposed to cry when something like this happen to me but I can't. I took my cell and try to call Sakura's cell but instead, I left a voice message on it.
"Oneesan........I will come eariler than my regular time. I will call either you or Kaori when I landed in Kyoto. Jaa Ne." and hung up.
I lay on my bed and after a while, I fell asleep.

"I love you too. I am not saying that I don't. But sometimes love is a mistake. For me love for any one human is a mistake. I have to be stronger than that." I respond. My face is distant and blank.
"I have been muddled and dominated by it. I can not live a normal life. I must pursue truth in the silence of a cave. I must find it through reflection and through solitude, living as a hermit."
"Oh, it looks like I am here in society, and it looks like I am with people. And I love you, but you see I can't share my cave. If I could share it, it would not be the same. It would be a shelter."
"This cave is not a shelter or hiding place. It is a place to go for thinking clearly without distraction. It is for simplicity and isolation."
"Love is not simple and isolated."

After talking to some socialists and capitalists, I return to my hotel. I learn that Lysander and some other socialists are staying at the hotel, so I ask the front desk for their room number.
Once I find it out, I go to their room and knock on the door.

I shake Aleksandra's hand, and ask Hailie if she would like to go for a walk.

"I'm going to do some shopping. See you two later I guess." I say to Hailey and Virus and walk away to a department store. I go inside and start seeing if there are any clothes I like there.

"Salome..." I begin, but just don't know where to go from there. I lower my head again, and take a step back.
"Well, I certainly don't want to hold you hostage. If you feel like you need to be your own person, then that's fine I guess, I just didn't understand..." I reply, then look back up. And I still don't.
"You can call me when you want a visitor to your cave." I reply somberly, then nod my head.
